Patek Philippe
The Titanium Reference 5180
典範之作 - 百達翡麗鈦金屬 5180
Titanium was first discovered in 1791 by English clergyman and amateur geologist William Gregor ( 1761-1817 ), Gregor found black sand by a river bank and noticed that it was attracted by a magnet . This black sand is now today what we call titanium and is extracted from minerals found inside earth . In 1980 the first titanium wristwatch was launched and today , titanium is arguably one of the most sought after and trendy materials to use in watchmaking due to its incredibly durable , light and corrosive resistant qualities .
Patek Philippe seldom deviates from current production . It is virtually unheard of to find a Patek Philippe cased in titanium . There are but a few examples known from the titanium collection offered at auction in New York in 2014 and three examples made for Only Watch . The present watch is unique and made especially for the charity Children Action and auctioned in 2009 for 520,000 Swiss Francs .
Reference 5180 was first introduced in 2008 and greeted very warmly by the market . The watch is completely skeletonized and has a large case diameter of 39mm . Every bridge of the skeletonized movement is completely hand engraved and this reference in particular is extremely popular in Asia .
This unique titanium reference 5180 is extraordinarily light and uber good looking . The reference is completely transformed when cased in titanium and the present watch is in pristine overall condition .
